A man carrying what was described as a "samurai" sword was tackled by a worker inside a Pennsylvania bar.

Tina Malachi, a server in Rookie's Craft Burger Bar, said the man, who wasn't wearing a shirt, walked in and sat at the bar. When he got up and walked into the pool room she asked him to put on a shirt, which is when she saw the sword.

Another employee sitting at the bar stood up and looked at the man, and the man then raised the sword up with both arms, said the worker. The employee ducked under the man's arms and grabbed him from behind, tackling him to the ground, assisted by some customers. They held him down until police arrived.

The man was arrested for summary warrants and the sword was confiscated, said Capt. Gabriel Olivera of Harrisburg police.
